How we handle sink repair in Roundbush
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Roundbush, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Roundbush
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
